Thanks to James for a delightful, entertaining and informative evening. He braved the accident ridden 401 all the way from Toronto to tell us all about module development for Drupal 6.

Thanks to all who showed up, specially a new face all the way from Stratford as well as a relatively new member from North of Guelph.
